Channel your inner Poldark. Experienced horse riders can join Cornwall Swimming Horses for an autumnal hack. Make the most of the quieter months with a low-tide gallop on the beach or enjoy the details of the changing seasons with a steady ride through country lanes. There’s even a route that stops off at the cosy Tinner’s Arms in Zennor.
This experience is suitable for those with an advanced level of fitness, and it lasts around two hours. Find out more here.

Jubilee Pool is the UK’s largest seawater lido and it’s usually reserved for humans, but on the day before the pool is closed for its annual clean, they open it up to swimmers and their canine companions. This event usually happens in late October. Keep your eyes peeled for dog friendly events on their Facebook page.
This Penzance farm has an incredible story. Two young farmers with no family background in farming have transformed the land into a small holding, campsite and countryside classroom. Now they host open days, during which you can meet some of the animals and learn more about how they are looked after. Follow the farm on Instagram to find out more about their events.
